Staff are very accommodating and dedicated. However transport system have to look upon While the school is at remote area making impossible for students get into school at appropriate time unless you are mobile, ie you have you own vehicle. Apart from that . They must be commended.
I feel like it has a homely vibe as a lot of the students are connected with one another. I expected university to be scary at first due to so many people, different people being there. However, it’s completely opposite. My course is mainly classroom dominated and by this I feel more comfortable and allows me to get involved more confidently.

I think the facilities provided on campus are excellent and very helpful in my work, as well as the general stores that provide food and drink. It is also very easy and accessible to travel to for me and haven't any problems so far
You receive the best support all the way through and they allow your inspirations to come alive. They also have a wide range of facilities that gives you a lot of options to what you would like to pursue further in the future, whether it be ceramics, resin, wood or metals combined etc.
Its got amazing facilities and the teaching it great.

The facilities are fantastic with the only down-side being the 30hz monitors paired with 75hz monitors in the Henrion Building, as this can be distracting when working a duel-monitor workflow. The location of the Uni relative to public transport (Train, Bus) and general parking is fantastic, with several parking areas on the campus itself. Student Support is great in terms of getting you advice and pointing you in the right direction. Our classes have also had enthusiastic staff from the library help us with referencing and bibliography work. I am yet to go forward with my Personal Support/Learning Plan due to time constraints but according to others that have gone through the process, it is relatively straight forward. Each class volunteers student reps which is great. Certain areas of that campus look neat and refreshing with good ventilation, the Catalyst and Henrion building being prime examples of this. As the air doesn't circulate in the Beacon building without a climate control system, you can smell when someone hasn't had a shower, which really distracts from people's ability to focus on the lessons. I have no doubt the climate control system was a good investment, especially for winter, and a way of improving the classrooms would be pairing this system with openable windows. There is a large collection of societies within the university which is great to have access to. There is also an on-site gym with a £120 Yearly membership (£2.31 per week). I use this regularly and it's great to see some of my lecturers there also. I know there are clubs and other places for partying both on campus and off campus and from what others have told me, karaoke night at gobble is good fun. I haven't ran into trouble with the student's union yet. I would say other than a few improvements here and there, staffs is a good university to go to. The Lecturers are enthusiastic about their professions and the possibility to go on field trips to The Lake District and France (as far as Film Production goes) has been a fantastic experience! I can't wait to progress to the next year of my course.

The facilities are very good and are very accommodating for my course.
Even though i have to travel 2 hours each way to come to uni, the staff are very accommodating to this and are very patient when it comes to lateness due to travel. The lecturer's at staffs are lovely and extremely good at what they do. They do not just read from power points they give their own person real life experience and advice while teaching allowing for a more in-depth understanding of the topic being taught and are more than willing to allow for extra time outside of the lecture theatre to go over and discuss any issues you may be having, regardless of that being about the learning, assignments or general worries. The university buildings and grounds are modern and accessible to all with nice views and many areas to socialise, study and relax.
All staff and other students have been very inclusive and welcoming, the course itself is very interesting and there is no lack of support anywhere. The English and Creative Writing team are one of the best I've ever experienced, with a wide range of knowledge between all staff.
The best thing about Staffordshire university is the staff. You have wonderful passionate staff who are always keen to help out. They really are some of the best professionals to have to support your learning. The worst thing I have experienced is the budget cuts that have taken place, there have been a few amazing staff who are no longer working at the university as well as having the adobe creative suite taken away.
Campus facilities are up to date and in a nice area but lacks events both in course and held by the student union leaving many facilities usage wasted.
Student support at Staffordshire University is amazing. They have the facilities for support and will do anything to help students get to where they want to be.
I have been studing in staffordshire a great university especially the thing i like most is way of thier multi-assessment system. I think in entertainment area they need to do something more.
Good support offered, good facilities for nursing skills practice
The campus is specifically for healthcare students, which I personally prefer, as all of the students and staff understand each other well. The support from the university, including the Paramedic lecturing team and the inclusion team has been great. There is very little involvement from the student union at the Blackheath Lane campus, which has resulted in many activities being missed out on for many students who attend that campus.

It is a comfortable environment and I felt adapted to it very quickly, the staff make me feel very welcome. I do feel there could be improvements on the seating a desk facilities within the class room, the desks are very small. The restaurant food is fabulous! :)
The University is a really awesome University! Unfortunately though it’s located in a very dangerous area. I did not know in advance.

Staffordshire university is like home away from home. the lecture hall are clean, the tutors are so helpful and supportive, the school welfare system is very welcoming and help even non locals or foreign student get integrated into campus and into the society as well. this is a great package from the school management. to be honest, cant think of anything bad about the school management and the environment. i think the school can get better by making undergraduate lessons Hybrid which can help and promote life and school balance and as well expose the student to hybrid way of productivity and excellence.
